LETTUCE.— Continued. 



BALTIMORE CABBAGE.- Introduced by us 

 three years ago, and pronounced by a ruimber of growers 

 to be the finest heading Lettuce they have ever seen. It 

 is constantly gaining friends not only in Baltimore, but 

 in Philadelphia and other places. See description page 6.

WHITE I.OAF.- This is so well-known to Truck- 

 ers and Gardeners around Baltimore and Norfolk that for 

 them it scarcely needs description. For the benefit of 

 those who are not acquainted with it, would say it makes 

 large compact heads, is of beautiful light green color, 

 very tender, and, while unsurpassed for frames, is a good 

 out-door sort.

 lb. 90 cts. 



GRAND RAPIDS. — This variety originated at 

 Grand Rapids, Mich., where it is largely grown for ship- 

 ment to distant points, and is considered by many the 

 best loose-headed Lettuce for forcing under glass. Leaves 

 medium size, of light, yellowish green color, much 

 crimped and frilled, thin, but of very upright growth; 

 crisp, tender and of good quality. Owing to its upright 

 habit it may be planted very closely. It is of extremely 

 rapid growth; very little liable to rot; will stand without 

 spoiling a week to ten days after it is fit to cut, and retains 

 its freshness a long time after cutting. 



Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., i-lb. 30 cts., lb. $1.00. 



BOSTON MARKET.— White seed. A celebrated 

 variety in New England, of good heading habit, small, 

 early and compact; quite desirable.

PARIS WRITE COS.— Differs entirely in shape 

 from the other varieties, the head being elongated and of 

 conical form, eight or nine inches in height, and five or 

 six inches in diameter. The outer coloring of this variety 

 is yellowish green. It is very hardy and of good flavor. 

 To blanch perfectly it must be tied up. It is the great 

 favorite of the London market. Try it.

MELON CANTELOUPE. 



German, Melone. 



(One ounce of seed to 50 hills.) 



Sow about the last of spring or first of summer, in hills 

 of light, rich, sandy soil, four feet apart, allowing but 

 three plants to grow in each hill; after they have grown 

 about a foot long, pinch off the points of shoots, which 

 causes the vines not only to become stronger, but makes 

 them produce lateral branches and prove more produc- 

 tive and mature earlier. It should not be grown near 

 Squashes, Cucumbers or Pumpkins, as the flavor will be 

 affected in consequence. 



BAETIMORE NUTMEG.— Well known and ex- 

 tensively used for years by many of the largest growers 

 all over the country. It has attained greater popularity 

 than any Canteloupe ever introduced. Large, thick, 

 green, sweet flesh; fine flavor and an excellent shipper. 



Pkts. 5 and 10 cts., i-lb. 15 cts., lb. 40 cts. 



EXTRA EARLY HACKENSACK.-Netted, 



green flesh and excellent; very showy market variety and 

 an excellent keeper; ten days earlier than the Old Hack- 

 ensack. 



Pkts. 5 and 10 cts., i-lto. 15 cts., lb. 40 cts.

 tion, page 5. 



Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., i-lb. 30 cts.,

EARLY NETTED GEM.— Extensively grown, 

 and many prefer it to all others for table use. Shape 

 almost a perfect globe, and grows remarkably uniform; 

 thick-meated; flesh light green in color and of fine, lus- 

 cious flavor; skin green, regularly ribbed and thickly 

 netted; very productive and extra early in ripening; will 

 keep for nearly a week after picking, and is especially 

 suited for shipping in baskets or crates. 

 Pkts. 5 and 10 cts., i lb. 15 cts., lb. 40 cts. 



ANNE ARUNDEL. —This handsome Melon has 

 been grown by a number of leading shippers in Anne 

 Arundel Co., Md., for several years, and is growing in 

 favor because of its many good qualities. It is very large, 

 nearly round, deeply netted and of good flavor. A wagon 

 load of them at once attracts the buyer's attention, and 

 when piled up on a market stall they are irresistable. No 

 large grower's stock is complete without this superb 

 Melon. 



Pkts. 5 and 10 cts., i-lb. J5 cts., ib. 40 cts. 



IMPROVED JENNY EIND.-A small, early 

 variety of surpassing good quality, highly recommended 

 for family garden. We consider this the most deiicious 

 Canteloupe we have ever eaten, and while the fruit is 

 small, it is an abundant bearer. A market gardener 

 having this soi't for sale would in a short time have no 

 difficulty in disposing of all he could raise. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., i-lb. 20 cts., lb. 50 cts. 



EMERALD GEM.— Meat salmon color, exceed- 

 ingly sweet and delicious; very eai'ly and prolific. One 

 of the best for family use. Its appearance is not attract- 

 ive, but try it and you will want it again.

PERFECTED- DELMONICO.— This is one 

 of the best of the red flesh sort; the flesh is a deep rich 

 orange color of very fine grain and of delicate and de- 

 lightful flavor.
